Hi Bill, If a product is brought over for commercial purposes only the GST is required. The person importing the product will fill out the appropriate customs form, I cannot remember the number off hand, but the importer requires a business number, they are essentially acting as a broker.
My current C&C is my third boat brought into Canada, two were by road, my C&C by water. The boat is like a used car. The government is going to collect tax on it. What I did to make life easier. I purchased the boat (Maine USA), took the bill of sale to my local DMV (New Brunswick), Paid the HST and registered the boat with New Brunswick. Went back to Maine and readied the boat for sailing to New Brunswick. When I arrived in Canada, I called CANPASS to declare my arrival into Canada. Normally they will meet you at the dock, but in my case they cleared me into Canada via phone call. It is a lot easier when the boat is Canadian registered and you are the only one on board. The most you should pay tax wise is HST on your bill of sale.

Something to do with it being a commercial import with a lower tax rate, instead of personal. That just seems nutz. Of course, all the tariffs and such are in such a state of flux right now, Probably tough to get the same answer twice from the same person. So simple to just scoot right through the Welland Canal.

Paying GST at the border will qualify you for the lower 7% rate, see below. In any case, it seems doubtful that there would be any concession for re-patriating a boat to BC based on these ridiculous tax laws. About the only way to reduce tax that I've ready about is to list items not normally attached to the boat separately, with item values, on a bill of sale. This means dinghy, outboard, BBQ, etc. From: https://www2.gov.bc.ca/assets/gov/taxes/sales-taxes/publications/pst-108-boats.pdf "If you bring a boat into BC from outside Canada, you must pay PST at the rate of 7% on the taxable value of the boat. The taxable value is the value of the boat as determined under the Excise Tax Act (Canada). The Canada Border Services Agency may collect the PST due when you bring the boat into Canada. If not, you must self-assess the PST due (see Paying PST below)."

If you have HST in your province, you will pay that. If you don’t have HST, then you will have to pay PST. You better pay it promptly; provinces are notorious for being slow, but they WILL find you (they came after me after 3 years from crossing the border with a gentle proposal to pay a hefty fine, but I had the documents showing that the tax was paid).

The GST is applicable to almost everything once a person's little exemption limit is reached. The import duty was waived due to NAFTA being in place and that year (2003) the C&C head office was in the USA.
